BETHEL STREET.

Bethel street is being made a
model street. A first layer of metal,
broken small, has been laid on and
rolled. A second layer is to follow.
The practice against which this
paper has protested time without
number, of placing large stones at
the bottom, has been avoided, and
the entire work is being done
according to the most approved
system. The Road Supervisor is
showing common sense, and an in
telligent recognition of the true
principles of road construction. We
are glad to testify to the fact. The
street will be continued across King
street to Hotel street. The survey
was made shortly after the great
fire of 1886, and the plan is now
being carried out. The completion
of this street from Merchant street
to Hotel street, will be a marked
to the city, and an in
calculable convenience.

CALCULATED 70 WIN SUPPORT.

At one of the Third Ward meet
ings Mr.. Oleson emphasized the i'm
portance of enlightening the natives
upon the necessity of registration
in order to be entitled to vote. He
said he would be extremely sorry
to see q native 60 to the polls on the
day of election, and be debarred
from voting because he had, through
ignorance, neglected to register.
He would rather the native should
vote against him or his party, than
not be qualified to vote at all. The
open honesty and evident sincerity
of the gentleman struck a respon-
sive chord in his audience, for his
remarks were heartily applauded.
II is indeed refreshing in these de-
generate days, when men boldly and
unblushingly assert that "every-
thing is fair in politics" to find a
man so honest, straightforward, and
fair. Mr.. Oleson is evidently no
professional politician, for his teach
ing is not Sin accord" with that
particular class. Men of that school
would consider it the correct thing
to prevent people qualifying, if
possible, if they were likely to cast
their votes on the opposite side.
Mr.. Oleson is certainly an earnest
man, is evidently imbued deeply
with conviction of the righteous
ness of the reform cause, in which
he is prominent, able, and vigor-
GUS worker, and would, therefore,
naturally prefer to see every elector
come forward and vote on his side;
but still he desires everyone, par
ticularly every Hawaiian, to quail
fly, whichever side he may vote on.
We honor this spirit, and firmly be-
lieve that free and frank exhibit
ton of it all around is calculated to
win support and votes to the cause
of reform, while an opposite course
has the reverse effect.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1887-08-24

previous Governments in Hawaii
were 'clean,' and while / will say
nothing against Mr.. Gibson, yet
there is no doubt that crime in Off
cial quarters did occur under his
Government. There was the Ka-
imiloa business and the opium bri-
berry, of which latter there could be
no doubt, as we had aflidavits from
the people who did the negotiating.
1t got so bad that we could not
stand it.
GAS | said, the league is sup
ported by the best people in Homo
lulu and there is no doubt of the
stability of the, new Government.
No dissatisfaction exists. OF course
there are some radicals who think
we have not gone far enough, but
fully two-thirds of the people of the
islands are conservative in feeling
and stand by us.
"A native lawyer named Poepoe,
with several others, had called
mass meeting for the evening when
we left, but his mass meeting will
be nothing beside ours, held in the
beginning of the revolution, when
we had fully 1000 people present.
Poepoe objects to certain parts of
the Constitution, but l know he is
not upheld by a majority of the
natives, for since the bribery bust
ness came out about the King, the
natives are divided and the great
part are against him. This was
shown in the last legislative cleo
ton, when fully One-half the natives
voted with the whites.
Regarding the certificates of citi-
zenship, Mr.. Hall thought there
would be no trouble, as they we're
50 worded that no foreigner would
run the risk of forswearing his allie
glance to his native land. As all
the league party would vote at the
next election there was no doubt of
the party being triumphant.
Mr.. Meyers agreed in every par
ticular with Mr.. Hall and said that
the Government was unquestionably
stable and would last, as the people
would stand by it. Speaking of the
"Rihes," he said that they now
numbered four companies and every
man of any prominence in the
islands belonged TO them. S. f.

Mr.. W. W. HALL INTERVIEWED.

w. w. Hall, of the firm of 4. o.
Hall e. Son, Honolulu, who fur
nished the ordnance for the critics"
which were so effective in the revo-
luton, was one of the arrivals by
the Zealandia yesterday. He was
found, with H. c.. Meyers, a lead
ing member of the Critics. at the
Occidental.
Mr.. Hall is one of the most pro-
minent men in the league, and has
been frequently consulted by the
new Ministry. In reference to the
reported intention Of the new Gov
eminent to repudiate the recent
issue of bonds, he said he was not
really certain himself as to what
would be done, but he believed they
would insist on having the law re-
garding the bonds carried out to
the letter. The law allowed the
syndicate of English capitalists, who
placed about 81, 800, 900 in England,
5 per cent commission and per
cent for expenses. The syndicate
and Mr.. Hoffman have endeavored
to saddle a large bill of expenses
upon the Government in addition to
the liberal percentage allowed. This
the Financial Agent would not
stand, and an investigation is to be
ordered.
Regarding the league Mr.. Hall
said that it was started by six men.
at was a dangerous thing said
he, "for it was treason unquestion-
ably, but the six were quickly in
creased, and as soon as we found
that we had some 200 men at our
backs, comprising the best people
in Hawaii, we went ahead. The
cause of the leagues formation was
the increase of crime and the conni-
vance of Government officials at
peculation in office. All of our

CANNOT BELIEVE 1T.

GAN things are fair in politics. "
This is the first article of belief in
the creed of a low and unprincipled
class of politicians. Their conduct,
too, is influenced and shaped by it,
showing that it is not a mere mean
ingless form of words. 1t is an ar
ticle of political faith, which is not
without adherents and teachers in
this country. They proclaim it on
the streets and in meeting places,
where two or three are gathered to-
gether. BY some, whose principles are
of the accommodating kind, they are
listened to with great eagerness,
and the doctrine is swallowed with
extreme delight, because it brings
peace and comfort to the conscience
after the committal of devious and
dirty deeds: while others, a stub
born and stiff-necked generation,
are hard-hearted and unbelieving,
and cling with great pertinacity to
the old-fashioned belief that what is
dishonorable and unfair per Sc, is
dishonorable and unfair in politics.
We belong to the latter class. Can't
oblige our friends by boiling this
peculiar faith. Our education in
this special line was neglected in
early youth. 1t is too late now
to attempt to instil new-fangled no.
ton into an old and hardened unbe-
lever We do not believe, cannot
believe, that "everything is fair in
politics." any more than we can be-
lieve that everything is fair in bust
ness or in the everyday dealings of
man with man. Whatever is dis
honest, dishonorable, or under
handed in politics, is also eunfair."
Moreover, we are of opinion that
perfect frankness and fairness, COM
bined with earnest and persevering
efforts to convey correct informa-
ton to the electors, are what is
needed to secure success in the
coming elections. As was said by
a correspondent in yesterdays Bull
LETIN, "moral sentiment" is the
foremost power in community,
and we certainly think the prepon-
derance of moral sentiment in this
community is Oh the side of an
honest, upright, uncorrupt, pure
Parliament and Government. Let
the people be given TO understand
and believe that the candidates who
solicit their votes are sincerely and
unselfishly seeking to advance the
public welfare, and there is but little
room for doubt of success at the
polls. Holding this view, we threw
out hint to the reform candidates
the other day, to ventilate their
thoughts to the electors: but it APP
pears to have been misunderstood
in some quarters, and to have been
taken by some members of the re-
form party in different spirit from
which it was given.
